| Abstract: |
The International Conference on Integrating Conservation in the Upland Agriculture in Southeast Asia resulted from the recognition that lives and landscapes in the uplands of Southeast Asia are undergoing rapid transformation. This transformation is brought
about by rapid societal changes and emerging global environmental issues, evolving perspectives and demands of society on forest, and new actors and institutional arrangements in governance and policy making process. There was also a notion that this scenario may continue to be the case in the region unless stakeholders acquire full
knowledge and appreciation of the issues and concerns causing the transformation of the uplands.
The conference, therefore, was organized to examine how landscapes in Southeast Asia’s uplands are changing and how higher education institutions are responding to that change. Specifically, the Conference had the following objectives:
• Share evidences and experiences that strengthen the convergence of food security and environmental conservation goals for the uplands of Southeast Asia
• Examine and extract lessons from policies and programs related to agroforestry and natural resources management in Southeast Asia uplands
• Capture and develop shared understanding of the challenges, trends and best practices in agroforestry and natural resources education toward sustainable agriculture in Southeast Asian uplands
This report contains a synthesis of the papers presented and the outcomes of the small group workshops, and some themes and suggested actions emerging from the Conference discussions. |
